windemere | Work update

So, I went to the mall today because the Manager was finally in (she's been on holiday) and I wanted to buy the mass of stuff I've had on hold since xmas (only she can ring it through). I worked last night and, though next week's schedule was up, I didn't have any hours, so naturally I asked her today why. Apparently Head Office is being a bitch (what's new) about how many hours of work they are allowing each store. But the District Manager wants more people on, so Olga has to have a talk with her. Anyways, I might get a shift or two once they figure it out. I hope so. At least she apologised.

I also bought a new piece of luggage (matches my set) because it was on sale for $30...from 120.

Yesterday I went down to Cambridge (Ontario) to meet with two guys who are trying to create the Fashion History Museum. Now, there is one of these in Winnipeg, but who the hell goes to Manitoba to see a museum? They want to base it in Guelph, but they are (like everyone) having a challenge finding funding to purchase a property. Anyway, they are in the midst of launching an official website and they wanted help with online marketing, because they don't really understand it. But they want the global audience so they admit they need it. It was a good talk and I think we're mostly on the same page. So, hopefully there will be work come my way (unpaid, these guys can't even pay themselves). Maybe it'll lead to something else if funding appears.

In other news, in a week Burlington Museums finds out if they get their funding for a new JB centre. I am VERY VERY hopeful, because it would be amazing for the city and might actually lead to a job for me. Also, the Volunteer Coordinator wants me to start volunteering for her (as well as the Curator). This will look GREAT on a CV.
